"There is no parking for this place. The parking that they list on their email is only for permit holders. This greatly reduced my rating. The apartment itself could use a good deep clean. Tons of dust, the couch was covered in stains, the blanket on the couch was very smelly and dirty. The location is okay, far walks and bus rides to everything. "

Top Merchiston Hotel Reviews

ibis budget Edinburgh Park

ibis budget Edinburgh Park

6/10 Okay
"This is exactly as specified, a budget hotel. We were two women travelers. Just friends. This was one of the cheapest hotels in Edinburgh that we could find, but they didn't have any twin bedrooms available, so we had to book a room with one double bed. That wasn't so bad, because they were kind enough to give us an extra blanket during our stay. The problem is that the shower is not in a room of its own. It is right next to the bed. Not something I took into account when booking the room, so not their fault, but something to be aware of. However, the room was never actually cleaned while we were there. They gave us new towels, took away the dirty ones, and remade the bed, but nothing was wiped down and the sheets were never changed. That made the shower start to stink after a couple of days. So while the workers were nice and the breakfast wasn't too bad and it was pretty quiet, I didn't like the lack of cleanliness."
